Finding my authentic mentoring self
In this session, Lis will cover what is authenticity and what it means to you? And how to be authentic as a mentor, particularly in more diverse relationships.
Authenticity can be a tricky area, do you really come across as genuine when you work with your mentee, or are you trying to be something you are not? We will consider some techniques to support your authenticity as a mentor and help you to be more conscious of how you present to your mentee.

Ghosting and cadence in mentoring
This webinar will consider two fascinating aspects of mentoring that I have been asked about recently.
Have you been ‘ghosted’ by your mentee? This is something that is on the increase in recent years and can really impact the mentor’s self-confidence.
What about the regularity of your meetings? Do you have a regular pattern or is it very ad-hoc? Does this impact the quality of your relationship?
We will consider both of these topics briefly in this session. Do bring your own experiences along to discuss.
